a/n: This might be my last update for a few weeks. It's not been beta'ed as my BetaFish has mysteriously vanished. Probably in the Bermuda Triangle where she is currently resided -waves a jealous fist-

Anyhoo, this didn't quite turned out how I wanted it to... I wanted some more sap and metaphores and general philosophical stuff and instead I came up with... this. Took me about... 2.5 hours to write xx

The ending was really hard to write too X3; I had the dialogue planned out for how it should end... but it didn't want to fit! -growls at it-

So... enjoy!

Title: Dust Bunny
Author/Artist: Allen Haverstock
Pairing: Kurogane/Fai D. Flourite
Fandom: Tsubasa RESERvoir CHRONiCLES
Theme: Kisses #1 – look over here, Hugs #28 – dust
Disclaimer: If I owned them they wouldn't be nearly as hot and smexy and mysterious because I suck like that. Fai and Kuro-tan are owned by the lovely clump of potatoes called CLAMP.

This is a Present for my BetaFish, since she requested it. Totally just added the line you wanted me to. XD. I forgot about it. Haha.

After much deliberation, three cups of coffee, and five uncontrollable bouts of sneezing, Fay D. Flourite decided, with a slightly wary smile and a handkerchief in hand, that he would clean.

The house they were staying in had long since garnered a surprising amount of dust. The owner was an emergency room doctor and didn't have the time for cleaning as he was rushing to the hospital and every odd hour imaginable to save a life.

Fay thought that that would be a very fulfilling job and wondered how different his life would have been if he had been a healer on his own world.

He definitely wouldn't have had to work as closely with his king as he did; wouldn't have had to flee to the Dimensional Witch as a result. He wouldn't have met Syaoran, Sakura and Mokona.

He wouldn't have met Kurogane.

Fay glanced at the ninja from where he knelt on the floor; scrubbing until his fingers were red and sore. He looked away before the other man could catch him, although with Kurogane's senses he was sure to have known he was.

"What are you doing?"

Fay looked up questioningly. He thought it was pretty obvious what he was doing, and told the other man so.

Kurogane snorted. "Why are you doing it, then?"

"It's too dusty," explained the blond with a grin. "It makes me sneeze. Besides, Kuro-ron, I'm bored and Doctor-san would appreciate it."

He didn't bother hiding the smile when Kurogane shuddered. A bored Fay was never a good thing. A bored, caffeinated, Fay was something the ninja never wanted to see.

"Why don't you use that thing that the doctor told you about," Kurogane suggested. It was a desperate attempt to keep the blond occupied with something other than hugging, tackling, teasing, poking, prodding, glomping, and ripping apart his dignity one nickname at a time.

"Hyuu?"

"That vack-kyoom thing," he said. "The guy said it would suck up all the dust."

Fay pouted. "But I already cleaned up all the dust, Kuro-chu! Now I'm making the floors all shiny."

And slippery, the ninja added mentally.

"Did you look under the furniture?"

Blue eyes widened with hope at the suggestion. Fay really wanted to use this mysterious vack-kyoom thing that Kurogane was telling him about.

"I'll go do that now, Kuro-kuu!"

Kurogane had long since managed not to flinch whenever the idiot mage mutilated his name. He hadn't,however, managednotto flinch whenever the idiot mage decided that the ninja looked like he was in need of a hug.

So, when Fay pounced on him and planted a kiss smack on his lips, Kurogane's eyes widened and he was not able to hold back a shudder.

Fay looked up at him slyly; blue eyes half lidded and lips curved into an almost-smirk as he landed.

Kurogane glowered at him. "What the Hell!"

The blond nimbly dodged the blow aimed for his head, laughing as the ninja growled low in his throat.

"Kuro-pipi! You sound just like an angry puppy! I was only saying 'thank you'!"

"I'll show you thanks!"

"Oh! Does Kuro-chin want to give me a kiss too?"

"No!"

Fay laughed and skittered away in search of the mysterious vack-kyoom.

It was silent.

Too silent, thought Kurogane.

The ninja never thought he would live to see the day when he found silence to be as unnerving to him as it was now. And it was all because of one idiotic, blond mage.

Fay and silence did not go together. It was a scientific fact.

Fay and silence was like water and oil. No matter how hard you tried you always failed to mix the two in the end.

So, with this in mind, Kurogane was only a little bit surprised when the door to the kitchen suddenly blew open; hinges squeaking loudly in protest at such abuse.

"Hyuu!" exclaimed Fay happily, sitting a top a strange looking black monstrosity. He was waving his arms in the air like it was one of those carnival rides they saw in Outo.

"Kuro-woof!" laughed the blond. "This vack-kyoom thing is amazing!"

Kurogane blinked.

"The HELL!" he shouted, stomping his foot and accidentally stepping on the power cord as he did so. The 'vack-kyoom' kept darting across the floor until it stopped suddenly, sending the mage sliding across the slippery wooden surface until he came to a rest half-under the sofa.

Fay blinked.

There was a fluffy grey thing staring at him.

He coughed. The grey thing jumped at him.

He gave a surprised squeal and tried to sit up quickly, hitting his head hard against the sofa's wooden frame and effectively stunning him. Kurogane grabbed his ankle and pulled him up, quickly unsheathing Souhi.

"What was it?" asked the ninja in a low voice.

Fay stared at him, still slightly dazed. "I think it was a bunny, Kuro-rin."

The dark-haired man dropped him and looked cautiously at the grey ball of fluff. The front door opened but both men were too busy watching the 'bunny' warily to take much notice.

Then it leapt at them as the door was shut. Kurogane sliced it with his sword.

Nothing happened.

"God damned Demon Rabbit!" cried the ninja. Fay walked over to the 'vack-kyoom' and got it working again.

"Oh! Kuro-muu! I have an idea!" said the blond. He frowned when Kurogane didn't move. "Kuro-tan! Please move!"

Still the ninja ignored him. Fay smirked, locating the power button and positioned the nozzle so it was almost touching the other man's bottom.

He turned it on.

The resulting cry of shock from the ninja was worth the slice to his face. He frowned, however, as he felt the cut bleed and touched a finger to it.

"Pi-pyuu! Kuro-fuu is so fast!"

Kurogane looked at him, a well-hidden expression of worry sketched on his face. The ninja reached out to touch the cut before he stopped, realizing what he was doing. He blushed.

The Demon Rabbit glided between them.

They stared at it.

It stared back.

Fay pointed the nozzle in his hand at it and turned on the power again. The Demon Rabbit promptly disappeared as it was sucked into the belly of the machine.

"Wow! This vack-kyoom is so cool!" cried Fay excitedly,holding the nozzle up to his head and laughing as it tried to suck inhis hair."Wow! Look! It's really sucky!"

Kurogane merelyhuffed, disappointed that it didn't put up much of a fight.

"What's going on, Fay-san?" asked Syaoran from the doorway. He was holding a few bags of groceries in his arms. Mokona was perched on his head singing.

"Oh! Kuro-muu and I were just cleaning! Weren't we, Kuro-chan?"

Kurogane snorted and grabbed Fay's wrist. "Let's get you a bandage."

Sakura was standing behind Syaoran; listening to them talk, and then looked between them before glancing at the floor, a slight frown on her face.

"Fay-san?" she called.

The mage smiled at her. "Yes, Sakura-chan?"

"Look over here," she motioned to the floor near her feet. Fay looked at her in confusion, so she continued.

"You missed a spot."

a/n: After re-reading this (and trying to beta it myself) I have decided that I don't much care for this one-shot either... X3; I had planned for much more interesting things to happen in it. Damn the Demon Rabbit and its distracting qualities. really needs to let us use the squiggly line. Really. I mean, half of Fay's lines in this were squiggly-line-ified (like the 'Hyuu!' and whatnot) because it just helps capture his character better. But Fanfiction is annoying and is also pissy. -growls-

Anywho! Reviews are greatly appreciated! Hehe, I might be able to get a few more one-shots in while I'm at my grandparents' house, but we'll see. The drive over there is long, so it'll either be this story or my Puppy Love one that gets updated :)

-dashes off to continue Whistle! fic- Wahahaha! Soccer/Football EATS MY BRAIN!

which reminds me. i am going to pick up 6 manga today:D -very happy-

PLEASE REVIEW:DDD
